    Anniversary?

    So its been 4 years to the day that i was diangnosed.

    Its pretty crazy to think back on it. I think i say this every year, but in one sense it seems like it was yesterday, but then again it seems like a lifetime ago too.

    So many good things have happend since then and I couldn't be any happier, but i can still picture that day in my head so vividly.

    Thanks to eveyone on this forum who have helped me on this journey.

            Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
